The Australian Bureau Of Meteorology - Australian Gridded Datasets (BOM - Ausgrid) for the period from Jan 2004 until the current day. The Ausgrid datasets are created by taking observational data from multiple stations positioned across Australia (821 Rainfall and 728 Temperature stations) and interpolating this to form a gridded dataset of the required variable for the required resolution. The CSIRO Archive contains the daily atmospheric variables Rainfall, Tmax and Tmin at .25° x .25° resolution for the region of Australia. Data has been stored in daily zipped files (ASCII format) with the following file naming convention [ausgridYYMMDD (YY=year, MM=month, DD=day)],with 365 files totaling approximately 15.90 MB per variable per year. This archive is updated on a daily basis.
